I received the roll of cord this afternoon. I was puzzled by the light weight of the roll of nylon cord inside the box, until I saw the size. The cord I received measures a bit over 1/16″ and less than 1/8″. If the cord had been marked correctly it would have been marked as 1/16″ nylon cord.

For anyone wondering based on the other review, this is typical 1/8″ dia. nylon cord- just as it says, and just like what I can buy in the local hardware for about $4 for 50′. Measuring with calipers it’s a true 1/8″.

On the diameter question, the roll I received was standard 1/8″. It did look at first like a noticeably smaller diameter than the nylon cord in the 1/8″ 48′ packages I’ve bought from places such as Lowes (this roll is made of finer strands than the Lowes cord, and so the two look different). But when I compared them carefully, this cord and the Lowes cord were the exact same diameter, and both measured to 1/8″. It’s certainly possible the other customer received a mislabeled spool.
